Episode 8: Aria-san Noticed!
“…”
Today, I was practicing instantly switching between all the attributes. The seven attributes are fire, water, lightning, wind, earth, darkness, and light. There are some exceptions to this, but basically, these seven are said to be the axis of magic as a whole. I seem to have been blessed with talent, and I can use all the attributes to some extent, but it seems that I’m not good with using lighting or darkness magic. I was training properly, but Aria-san was looking at me with a stern expression for some reason, so I timidly asked her.
“Aria-san… um, did I do something wrong?”
When I asked her that, Aria-san immediately stopped her stern look and said with a smile.
“No, sorry! I was just lost in thought! Adin-kun, you’re steadily getting stronger!”
“Is that so? That’s good.”
After that, as I continued my training for a while, Aria-san said confidently while looking at me.
“Adin-kun, you’re getting good at earth magic.”
“…Eh? Is that so?”
“Yeah, surprisingly good… Until recently, your limit was making a small wall by moving a little dirt, but now you’ve learned a technique to rapidly grow plant roots…”
…That’s probably because I’ve been learning earth magic from Milena-san. Yes, after having a mock battle with Milena-san once, I’ve been going to her for training several times when Aria-san isn’t around. And since Milena-san’s best attribute is earth magic, I’m basically supposed to learn the most from her about earth magic, so Aria-san probably noticed the extraordinary growth of my earth magic. …However, Milena-san told me to keep it a secret because if I told Aria-san, she might get angry, so I have to keep it a secret.
“It’s because of your excellent teaching, Aria-san.”
“I don’t think I’ve ever taught you how to rapidly grow plant roots, though? …Adin-kun, if you’re hiding something from me, you better tell me now.”
“W-What kind of things would I be hiding?”
“For example… if you’re secretly training with someone else behind my back.”
───At those words from Aria-san, I felt a chill down my spine. That example from Aria-san was exactly the same as my current situation. …But I couldn’t admit it.
“Th-That’s impossible, right?”
“…It’s ok if you were learning from a man, Adin-kun is also a boy, and sometimes it’s easier to learn from someone of the same sex. But if it were a woman…”
“…And if it were a woman?”
“I might use a bit of force, but I’ll show Adin-kun my power again, so he won’t ever think of doing such a thing again.”
───Being treated like that by Aria-san is normally scary. In fact, I didn’t expect that this would be the reason why Aria-san was so angry… Milena-san probably also knew that which is why she said we should keep it a secret.
“…But, I don’t think Atin-kun, who is so affectionate towards me, would do something like that.”
“…Yes.”
“…”
That day, I continued my training with an uneasy feeling in my heart… And when I returned to the dormitory with Aria-san, I went outside alone to go to the adventurer’s guild. When I called for Milena-san at the adventurer’s guild, she came to me with her usual gentle smile.
“Adin-san, what’s the matter?”
“Milena-san… Can we end our secret relationship today?”
When I said that, for a moment I felt a strong magic power coming from Milena-san───or so I thought, but it was only for a moment, it must’ve been my imagination. Milena-san then said with her usual smile.
“…Shall we move away for a moment?”
And when I followed Milena-san, it wasn’t the usual training ground… It was the receptionist’s dormitory in the adventurer’s guild, and I was invited to Milena-san’s room.
